Answer:

2.94 joules.

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of terms

GPE is the Gravitational potential Energy. Potential Energy is actually energy possess by an object due to its position.

mass is the quantity of matter in a body, measured in kilogram, gram, pounds etc

gravity is the earth's magnetic pull on an object to its center

GPE=mass x gravity x height

mass=0.3kg

gravity=9.8m/s^2

height=1m

mass x g x height = 0.3 x 9.8 x 1 = 2.94 joules.
